PB Events

Fine Ports and inspiring locations with PB Corporate Events

When you think of Portugal you probably think of the Algarve, sandy beaches and children's holidays, few will think of conferences! Whilst it is true southern Portugal and Lisbon offer some great options for corporate groups, for those looking for something truly unique and secluded you have to look north. The Douro Valley, with it's meandering river, rolling hills and picturesque vineyards, remains unexplored by many and a closely guarded secret by those "in the know". Tucked away in this serene environment is a newly converted 19th century Manor House, offering the highest in luxury and service with a fantastic new spa and various different meeting rooms of all sizes to choose from.

PB Corporate Events have worked in conjunction with this hotel to develop an excellent surrounding program of activities that can be built around a conference or business session. Take a cruise up the river whilst enjoying a private wine tasting workshop where you will pit your knowledge and taste buds against your colleagues. Alternatively enjoy a private art workshop set amongst this stunning scenery and grounds, where the light changes every hour allowing the true artist in you to develop. For those looking for more of an adrenaline rush you can take charge of a speedboat and navigate the river at high speed or simply hand over controls to the skipper and let them show you what the boat can do!

This inspiring location is perfect for corporate groups looking for a business session and surrounding program with a difference. Call us now on 0208 246 5320 to find out more.

Winter Review 07/08

A big thank you to all of our clients from this winter.

As the snow begins to melt and we hang up our jackets and put away our skis for another 8 or 9 months, it is great to be able to look back on a very busy and successful winter season just gone by. From taking 79 complete beginners to Switzerland to running a heliskiing weekend in the Arlberg region, this winter has had it all and we thank our clients for making these past 5 months such a great success. Other highlights would include a snowmobiling excursion through the forests and under the stars in France or a 30 person transfer in a snowcat to a mountain top restaurant for dinner. In addition we have covered a lot of pistes, had a lot of comedy falls and of course eaten more cheese fondue than can possibly be healthy for you.

With a busy summer period coming up there is no rest for the team as we push ahead with arrangements for our events in warmer climes. However, planning for next winter has already begun as we continue to look for new and exciting opportunities out there. The Porsche Ice driving mentioned in the article below is one of various new concepts we're working on for next season to help create the ideal winter getaway. We are also discovering new hotels (and old ones with a facelift), as well as identifying the best chalets for our groups for next winter. Bookings are already moving ahead for the large groups as companies make sure they get the right options for next winter in place already.

So thank you once again to all our clients for travelling with us this winter, and (if we don't see you before) we look forward to seeing you on the slopes again next season.
